Wild Beer Sleeping Lemons

Wild Beer Sleeping Lemons

We have been preserving lemons in salt and lemon juice throughout the winter, ready to brew this refreshing, zesty summer special.

Gose, is a traditional German-style sour wheat beer, usually brewed with coriander and salt. Once nearly extinct, this very refreshing style is making a comeback and we thought it would provide the perfect backbone to this wonderfully complex summer beer.

A fabulous citrus accompaniement to fish dishes, or it could act as a sour lemon pickle to Moroccan food.

3.3 330ml bottle. Poured a slightly hazy yellow straw colour with a thin broken white head. The aroma is yeasty, lemon lime citrus. The flavour is moderate sour, with a light, crisp, fresh, yeasty, light biscuit, tart citrus palate. Light to medium bodied with average carbonation.
3.6 Shared at a tasting, fizzy carbonation, quite clear palish yellow color, lactic spicy, mellow lemon sourness, yoghurt, saltiness in the end, greenish notes and a bit of wood. Very easy and really enjoyable.
4.0 Bottle. Thanks tomer. Hazy pale yellow with white head. The aroma is lactic with notes of spices, lemon, some coconut and herbs. The flavor is mild sour with notes of spices, salty, lemon, lactic, lemon juice, low alcohol. Dry, light to medium-bodied. Nice, very drinkable.
3.0 Bottle, purchased from Beer Hawk. Pours a thin and clear yellow gold with a thin white head. Aroma: lemon, salt, mild straw, mild biscuity grain notes. Taste: not much to this at all. Mild lemon, mild salt, mild straw, mild earthy flavours. Thin bodied. Moderate carbonation. Very mild tartness with a mild salty finish. This wasn't bad it was just very mild tasting. Not particularly interesting.
3.6 Bottle, thanks tomer. Hazy yellow, small head. Lactic, spicy and citrusy aroma. Sweetish-sour, lemon, lactic, yogurt, coriander, salty, zesty. Medium bodied, dry and easy to drink. Nice one.
3.2 Draught at Darby's Gastown, Vancouver, listed 6%, probably a mistake Cloudy blond colour. Moderate acid, rather dry, not weak, mild lemon character. Pleasant, simple.
3.2 Vycap. Zlta mutna farba, bez peny. Vona kysla, trpkost citronu, sol. Chut kyselkava, mierne ovocna, citrus, pozadie trosku slane.
3.4 Draft House MK, 27/01/18. Diaphanous and headless green gold. Mellow peardrop suck of sour. No real gose character. But very drinkable. Nose sulphur, beeswax with mouldy lime. Watery finish. No salt. But mineral. Good but wanted more edge.
3.4 Slightly hazy golden color with a little white head. Malty, earthy, fruity, lemon, lemon rind, salty, minimal tartness, medium carbonation, refreshing.
2.1 Aroma escaso. Sabor muy lager y sin practicamente toque a lima. Como gose deja bastante que desear. No repetiría.

4.6 The Wild Beer Company Sleeping Lemons 3.6%. Pale golden, sour wheaty aroma, light bodied, wheaty malt, sour lemon, coriander. Pleasant German Gose style ale from Somerset
3.3 Bottle. Hazy lemon gold, thin, fizzy and quickly evaporating white head, moderate condition. Tangy citrus in the nose with hints of pineapple and lemon, an earthy funky yeastiness and a hint of grain. In the mouth it is dry and moderately tart with some background sweet lemon, and a hint of mineral saltiness, finish has a low but lingering dry citrusy tanginess

3.3 This beer is a light, relatively clear straw colour when poured from the bottle with no head. The aroma is faint, slightly dank. Taste is light with lemon zest and a little salt. Slightly sour, but not too much so. A pleasant drink.
3.0 Bottle at home bought from Waitrose supermarket. Pours hazy and yellowy. Head disappears very quickly. Lots of salt and lemons and they are overriding flavours.
2.8 Bready lemony sour aroma, spicy, salty. Cloudy to clear yellow for, depending on the part of the bottle. No head. Sour lemony taste. Thin body, average carbonation.
3.3 Rami Rami is drinking a Sleeping Lemons by The Wild Beer Co at Jabeerwocky Draft Cytryna, ciut zest, slonawe lekko... leciutkie, chlalne spoko ale bez zadnych wiekszych wrazen, ok+
3.5 Wysycenie średnie, w aromacie cytrusowa świeżość, lekka kwiatowość. W smaku ponownie cytrusy, nienachalny kwas, mineralny słony aftertaste.
3.8 Aroma is citrus slight funk wheat also gummy bear. Taste is fresh sour with slight salt. Bready mouthfeel. Light but not watery. Nice
4.1 Vycap unorthodox. Prijemna vona, citit citronovu travu. Farba jemne kalna zlta. Chut vynikajuca kombinacia kyslosti a slanosti.
3.8 On tap at BeUnorthodox. Hazy yellow colour with small white head, aroma of lemons, even acidic. Sour taste. Very sour. Lemons, some lactose maybe, light body, long sour finish. 150% sourness.
3.6 Bottle from JK Fine Foods. Pours a bright, yellow gold with no head and stacks of carbonation. Nice blend of lemon fresh and sour funk on the nose. That same citrus fresh is there on the taste with a light sourness that balances nicely. Light body with a high, crisp carbonation. Super fresh citrus and sharp sour Gose that strikes a light, easy drinking balance. Very enjoyable.
3.7 Pale and hazy, no head. Aroma of lemons, unsurprisingly, slightly sour. Taste is lemon with some salinit, refreshing.
3.4 330 ml bottle, bb 20/09/2021. Pale straw, cloudy, no head. Nose - lemon, coriander, salt. Taste - sour, coriander, lemon, some salt. Prickly carbonation.

4.6 Tap at Petition - wow - deeply flavoured preserved lemon packs quite an exotic punch - really salty but I like it - decent sourness - lip smacking - superb Gose.
2.7 Dost šílené pivo a první zkušenost s tímto stylem, zatím uděluji hodnocení takové, jaké je, ale až v tomto stylu ochutnám více, budu objektivnější. Ve vůni dominuje uzené maso, které ale zde podle mě nevoní moc dobře, chuť citrónová, kyselo-slaná, říz jemný, tělo také a téměř žádná pěna. Zajímavá zkušenost.
2.8 Lukt: eplejuice, sitron Smak: sitron, overjæret cider, sitrondrops(?) Kremete munnfølelse, medium karbonering mild og ikker overveldende syre ganske fin og lett 5,6/10 180505
